[infinispan-dev] explicit distributed locking WAS: serializable isolation level

It's funny that you mention that, as Oracle is known for getting Serializable wrong. If someone is using Serializable, they can't design a concurrent app, and they dont care about performance. Instead, if people need explicit serialization semantics, they should be using write-locks on a read. You can do this today by writing to a bogus attribute. However, a lock() method which supports eager and lazy (eager = aquire lock on the cluster now, lazy = aquire it as part of repl like today) locking would be more efficient and intuitive. Example: cache.lock(total-cash); sum = // calculate new total cache.put(total-cash, sum); -- Jason T.
